SVG starts to become more useful in browsers like Firefox, OmniWeb, Opera and soon Safari. There is a couple problem. Since no browser support svg embedded with img one need to fall back to html from:

    <object data="/path/to/img.svg" type="image/svg+xml"
    width="512" height="384">Alt text</object>

Second, one need to write the width and height for most cases of svg to make them scale correctly. (This, I think can be considered to be a bug in some of the current browser implementations)

Making object as a specielt case for svg-images would be nice, but one probably need some way to set the size of the image to make it practical.

I didn't find if this has been discussed in the archive before, but how about adding size in the syntax. I.e. in addition to:

    ![Alt text](/path/to/img.svg)

    ![Alt text](/path/to/img.svg "Optional title")

One could write:

    ![Alt text](/path/to/img.svg "Optional title" 512x384)

and:

    [id]: /path/to/img.svg "Optional title attribute" 512x384
